Two weeks, wow how time flies. Sorry for the wait.

Yard work..... I got a bunch of white pine trees planted, cleaned up some rough edges and yanked out some old fencing that had been eaten up by the ground. The old Willys has been working earning it's keep.

I've been asked to enter it into the 4th of July parade, guess I'll have to keep it driveable at least til then. We'll see how it works out.

Of course I got to roll a couple dirt hills and obsticles while working.


As for the 57 Chevy... I'm at the point were I'm showing my age and experience. Although I've got the exhaust pretty well set, I still have hangers and the final mounting to finish. Years ago I'd get to this point and start slapping things together. Not any more, I want many years of usage, so I'll take the time to get the mounts right.

In meant time I have removed the system and dissassembled it so I can fullly weld all the pieces together.

I took this picture, I thought it looked awesome, kinda like I ordered a "dual exhaust with "x" pipe splitting into 4, with two mufflers and two exhaust cut outs, converging back together after the mufflers, with the tailpipes exiting through the bed steps exhaust system" exhaust kit for a 57 Chevy truck.:2



I realize there are many choices of mufflers to go with anymore. I chose turbo mufflers because they flow pretty good and the have a fairly quiet sound to them. With the exhaust exiting right behind the cab, I don't want to listen to barking mufflers while driving down the highway.
